AREA Day
In late 2021, AREA Ruhr started an annual event called “AREA-Tag” (AREA Day) which seeks to explore traces of East Asia in North Rhine-Westphalia (“Auf den Spuren Ostasiens in NRW”) and to introduce them to a general audience. Since then, the event has included lectures, a guided museum tour, and a cultural experience day.

#window2asia
#window2asia is a project of AREA Ruhr, which collects and publishes information on current and upcoming cultural events in the Rhine-Ruhr region. In our overviews, we feature exhibitions, concerts, movie screenings and workshops that are aimed towards the general public. Previously hosted on the homepage of the Institute of East Asian Studies (IN-EAST) at the University of Duisburg-Essen, #window2asia was relaunched in the hands of the AREA Ruhr staff in 2023 and, since 2024, also includes monthly digests with overviews of events in the following month.
